[XML-SIG] xml-schema parsing using minidom.

[Mariappan, MaharajanX]

Hi Martin,

1) Thanks for your timely valid response. I've a quick question on applying 
the patch you have provided. I'm using win200. So tried to change two lines
in ...Lib/xml/dom/pulldom.py 

But contents is different to version 1.6.

class PullDOM(xml.sax.ContentHandler):
    def __init__(self):
        self.firstEvent = [None, None]
        self.lastEvent = self.firstEvent
        self._ns_contexts = [{}] # contains uri -> prefix dicts
        self._current_context = self._ns_contexts[-1]

2) My aim of using PyExpat is not only parsing the schema file but
also to print the variants enum value.

It is not giving any parse error. But the function "getAvailableVariants()"
is not working as we expect to print enums. 

It is not even printing available simpleTypes.


TIA,
Maharajan

Thanks, it turns out this is a bug in pulldom. Please apply the patch
below.

You said "but no valid response." Can you please qualify?

One problem here is that FromUri expects an URI. You are passing
"c:\\Project\\build.xsd", which, if it was an URI, would use the "c"
scheme, which is not defined. However, as a work-around, FromUri will
open that resource if it is a local file.

If I change the file name so that it works on my Unix system, the
PyExpat.Reader will parse the document just fine; I can see no
problems.

Regards,
Martin
